I think this comment is very misleading because he clearly understands it, he’s simply trying to explain to those who may not. A lot of Americans think all CEOs are created equal and that they are always the largest individual shareholder, that the board answers to them and not the other way around. This obviously isn’t the case and although the job title and responsibilities are the same their power varies greatly and is determined by their shares and their influence and connections with other high shareholders. This is why he brings up Mark Zuckerberg because the truth is that this is what Americans think of when they think of CEO, someone who must approve any and all changes and can easily make their own changes. The point of this video is to let people know that the TIkTok CEO doesn’t have the kind of power that they associate with the position but that there are people in the company who do have that kind of power which is why he lists them. The CEO himself has only been working there for a few years so likely has very little say, instead he is more the frontman for the majority shareholders.

If possible, can you provide more information on his role? When you suggest that he’s powerless at TikTok - does that mean he doesn’t have day to day operational control? Does that mean that he operates the company daily, but is powerless to enforce any sort of data security? Is there good information on how exactly these decisions are being made at TikTok internally, and how much influence Shou actually has?

I found the video quiet biased.. Like it started with a conclusion instead of leading to it.

I know this is OT, but when you brought up Udacity, I felt I had to write this somewhere. In the beginning Udacity had it right. They had classroom communities directly connected to the class, with a link to the forums with markup available, right next to the video without any need to hunt it down. People could quickly get to the forum and get to know each other, and people would get the opportunity to shine if they contributed to the discussions. Free classes where people would get certificates, plus have a community with people who would help them, really gave people motivation. But when other platforms introduced paid certificates, Udacity wanted in on that, and much like when Hippocrates burned his own Temple down, Udacity realized what they built was too good. They Realized with timed classes and exam periods and a strong sense of community in classroom cohorts people had too much motivation, so they had to go about dismantling the system. They started by reversing their position that timed classes were prefered, as many studies show this improves productivity. Peter Norvig used to give speeches about this at Ted Talks, but for some reason they chose to cater to the few by making every class have no time constraints, when they could have just allowed people educated in one class cohort to join another later to take part in a later exam if there was a scheduling conflict. But this wasn't enough. They also realized students could still access the forums for a class and ask their friends questions, so Udacity made these cohort specific classes difficult to access. Ease and simplicity was replaced with difficulty and annoyance. Yet when they realized people would still watch the content for free and no matter how annoying it seemed, they would just use the forums anyway, they made it so you had to pay to access classroom specific forums, and with his move the mentors who could move and help with the class, disappeared. With general forums instead of cohort specific classes, everything was less focused and everyone had become disillusioned. You could no longer shine, being the first to post or reply to a topic. People who were once motivated to help were gone, and people who wanted to learn would stay for a bit before realizing they couldn't get help unless they paid for a credential without much value - especially with no community to help each other find work - and then they would just stop coming. After seeing the writing on the wall, I personally decided to attend a traditional University; although I studied the Design/the Fine arts on scholarship at OCADU. I was already skilled in various areas of development, and Udacity gave me python and some insight into areas I hadn't been allowed to access before; yet, without the community it now feels like a wasteland at times. Nobody wants to learn alone, especially when they are stuck and the tutors made available for a price aren't nearly as caring as someone who just wanted to help and possibly shine by helping. It sucks not having friends to compete with, friends who would show you their version of a piece of code or how they solved a math problem, so you can write much better code. I was often one of the better members in my classes, as I enjoy learning and problem solving, but there were still mentors/students who had skills above my own making themselves available, who that gave me great insights and that interaction, which is now lost, is what often gave me added reasons to improve.

Let's ignore who owns/controls all the major tech-media companies such as; KZbin/Google (Alphabet), Facebook (Meta), Wikipedia, Wix, MySpace, and and many more. And lets ignore their conspicuous links to UNIT 8200.

[@asadaden]

This man believes his lies. The new KZbin propaganda

[@SyTacLoc]

Exactly

[@tekboi1984]

What lies?

17:48 - Yes, reciprocity is above freedom of expression in strategic situations, 19:00 - VPN is apparently illegal in the PRC, 20:00 - Cold War 2.0 is very different to Cold War 1.0 - it's a very asymmetric conflict with one side playing only by it's own ever changing rules.

[@davidT.C]

VPN is very common in China and its not illegal as many expats and companies use it on the daily.

I remember in 2019 when I tried downloading TikTok on my iPhone it showed this app is dangerous and could damage your security. I will never download TikTok. I’m mainland China tictok is banned

[@abelblackzm]

This video would have been great if you spoke from a neutral point. But you’re obviously American making your content for Americans.

[@carheartauto]

你的分析绝对正确! Your analytical is absolutely right!

[@Befevered]

Did Meta pay for this video? Or the U.S. intelligence community? Or both? America wants social networks to be easy to monitor and Meta has happily handed over Americans data to the intelligence community since day one. A foreign social media company might not be as accommodating…

[@jdwiley9192]

lol maybe everything isn't a giant conspiracy? I agree that you should always be skeptical of your government, but a CCP state sponsored malware app absolutely needs to be banned due to security concerns. Did you even watch the whole video? The chinese are not like the americans, they dont have elections every four years like us, they live in a totalitarian regime. There political policies always have been and always will be thinking 50-100 years in advance rather than 4 years like us. They like to play the long game when it comes to politics, anybody can tell you this. It's crazy to me to see the conspiracy minded people (like me) to agree with CHINA and think we shouldn't ban its malware that is own probably 99% of teens devices and 90% of adults devices. Think about long term and why exactly they want to do this and it doesn't take long to realize what they are planning.

[@windohandwuantloverchanel1752]

The US Capitalist Party

[@aperson626]

And also censors anti- chinese videos, but of course that isn't talked about. Nor is the part of the trial where the "CEO" claims that him being apointed ceo a day after a ccp party member aquired a seat at the board is a coincidence. Cause who cares? either way, them rather having it banned than sold is telling.

[@MadDogRyan]

Dude TikTok is doing the same thing as any other social media company

[@thedelanyo]

"If TikTok is banned, creators will quickly grow their audience on different platforms" This is absolutely not true. Currently the most used feature on TikTok is TikTok Live. Facebook, Instagram, KZbin didn't really "copycat" TikTok like the twitter did with Clubhouse. If TikTok is banned, it'll be a betrayal - currently there'll be no replacement.

[@rimondas6729]

He is just a silicon valley bootlicker

[@tekboi1984]

Creators have already been leaving TikTok in droves

If you think Singapore and Malaysia aren't colonies of Whina you are probably an american

[@Tatteddaddydc]

Lol. You're right

[@blufudgecrispyrice8528]

Great video, but where are your sources? I read your disclaimer and you say you're stating your opinion but you're presenting the points as fact. Please cite and link them.

i have a video suggestion for you: HOW ELON MUSK DISTROY TWITTER

[@ReyMaccOfficial]

Very many companies in these times work like this. Think about it, you start a company, you know how to do the work but not administration, you hire a CEO, Manager, and etc. They will administer as you do the work. At the end of the year, you take your seat as the boss and look at how yiur company has performed

[@sedolfmanuopoku3058]

you present like the US doesn’t spy through tech companies 😂😂😂

[@Sch0LarY]

Another ONE!! 🔥🔥

[@HKgrim_reaper87]

crazy that people still not understand how serious this problem is

[@Munomedia]

Every government collects user information, including the USA this is Gov't / corporate sponsored KZbin channel 😂

[@4sw1n]

so what if dancing data go to china govt ? it is the same with other apps data that are tracked by US govt..

[@johnnyp3839]

Most Tik Tokers can't survive on youtube. You actually have to be entertaining, intelligent or bring some kind of value to youtube. These 4 second dances aren't going to cut it over here. TikTok is basically the easy mode version of youtube.

[@shiestyOT]

Always happy to see John drop a video.

baloney，tiktok is just not in the interest of American capital

[@nicofar2600]

your videos are outstanding! always so informative and thorough!

@5.01 musically wasn't the first app focused on lipsyncing. Dubsmash for one was actually quite popular and clearly an inspiration.

Every singaporean in positions of power is under the thumb of the pap(current authoritarian gov of singapore) and the pap is beholden to the ccp since the time of deng

[@jeemutbbahanroy]

Only in America does this nonsense happen. Here in India our Government just outright banned it without any of this fanfare😂

[@abandonedmuse]

That country has always worried me. They are scary to me. I’m happy so many Chinese have left and come here.
